About John
John Williams is a health care government relations attorney who helps providers and health care organizations anticipate and navigate federal legislative and regulatory decisions to protect revenue, secure funding and turn policy risk into strategic advantage.
He partners with executive leadership and government relations teams to identify policy risks early and develop proactive advocacy strategies. Drawing on his experience working in Congress and as a federal lobbyist, he engages Congress and federal agencies directly to shape outcomes on behalf of clients.
John’s practice includes:
- Drafting legislative language and regulatory comments to secure changes to federal health care laws;
- Protecting and restoring Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement through agency appeals and administrative processes, including recoupment disputes, payment denials and reimbursement adjustments;
- Securing federal funding and appropriations, including community project funding and support for rural health initiatives; and
- Leading direct congressional and agency engagement on client-specific matters, including building congressional support, influencing proposed rules and connecting clients with key federal decision-makers.
Before practicing law, John served as press secretary and policy advisor on the House Committee on Government Reform and Oversight and later represented clients before Congress on behalf of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association. He is also a commercially licensed pilot with more than 1,200 hours of flight time.
